A SERIOUS BLAZE.
The Droyers Home. Below h City Line,
Consumed Yesterday.

The Droyers Home, Below the City Line,
Consumed Yesterday.
Shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday,
as two daughters of Mr.. ii. kilt were
riding past the 'Drovers' Home" building,
owned by C.. A. Seabright and situated on
the extension of Jacob street, just beyond
the Marshall county line, they noticed
smoke aud flames issuing from the rOofnea
one of the chimneys, on the south side OF
the house. They quickly gave the alarm
to Mr.. Seabright, and after warning the
people in the house, he telephoned to the
fire department. An alarm was turned in
from box 65 on FOrty-titth street and the
department quickly responded.
Although the fire was beyond the COrpO-
rate limits, the Chief kindly laid a line of
hose to the building and put an engine to
work aud after an hour and
n half's work the flames were eXtinguish-
ed. The distance Of the house from a fire
plug made it extremely difficult for eff
Gent service to be rendered, and "a sections
of hose, representing a distance of over
|, 700 feet, was necessary to carry the
water.
The building, which is Of brick, was
completely ruined, and only the walls and
the floor in one room were left standing.
The lower part of the building consisted OF
q saloon, owned by VIM. Jefferson, and
q grocery which was the property of Sea-
bright, and before the engines arrived the
most of the groceries and the household
furniture was carried out. About 20 men
who were ut work on the b. * o..
track and q number OF engineers
on the road rendered valuable aid before
the department arrived. 1t is supposed
that the fire was caused by a defective flue.
The building is valued at $1,000, and is in
sured for $4,000, and the stock of groceries,
valued ut s., 500, and the saloon stock are
also covered.
Some people, unaCq uainted with the facts
were disposed to Censure Chief Dunning
for not going promptly to the fire with the
apparatus. The first alarm sent out
was by telephone, and only reached two or
three hose houses. These started promptly,
and when box 65 was pulled the entire
department responded. Had 4 requst been
sent to theS proper officials at the outbreak
of the fire, the men would have been ut the
scene as promptly as though the fire was
inside the city limits.
An alarm was also turned in about .
o'clock from box 56, at the La Belle mill,
owing To a slight fire which originated in
the cellar of the house of Policeman ThoS.
Killecn, at No. BIB Wood street. IL is
supposed that the fire was Occasioned by
spontaneous combustion in the cellar, but
it was easily ex%tinguishCd with hut slight
damage to the house.

Greatly Exaggerated.

The evening papers last night devoted
good deal of space to a sensational account
of an affray betweon two boys in Fulton,
alleging that ono of them, Louis Miller,
aged Is, had been ''brained by 4 brick
thrown by James Porter. The matter
was grossly exaggerated. The boys had a
difficulty Monday night, which ended by
Miller running" Porter home. Tuesday
evening they again met, and the quarrel
WAS renewed, when Porter hit Miller on
the back of the head with a stone, crush
ing his hat brim and raising a bump ON ms
head. Miller wasnOt knocked Senseless, y
hut walked home. Yesterday DIR. "tltel,
who happened To lie in Fulton, was called
in to see the lad, hut came to the conclusion
that it was not at all serious. The Doctor
never said he skull was fractured or
that the patient would probably die.
The physician said last evening the matter
was very much exaggerated, and residents
of Fulton, conversant with the facts, CON
cured in his statement.

ANTUSE
THE WOMEN OF TO-DAY"


The remarkable success which greeted
Mrs. Belva Lockwood in her last lecture
IN our city, inspired her many friends here
with q desire to hear her again, and ar
engagements have been made for her to de-
liver her celebrated lecture on The
Women of To day." at the Opera House
ON Friday evening. The proceeds Of the
lecture will be for the benefit of the relief
fund OF the G.. 4. K. The Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union and the Women's
Exchange have joined in the endsavOr to
make the enterprise a success, and a com
mittee meeting was held mt the residence OF
Mrs. Murdoch, on Market street, last
evening, to complete the arrangements.
There is no doubt hut that the lecture will
be an immense success. Those who have
heard her before will surely be there, and
those who have never listened to her should
not neglect this opportunity OF hearing
Americas greatest female orator.

An Exciting Chase.

There was n very exciting chase on
Twelfth street, yesterday morning, between
Attorney b. S. Allison aud Constable LAUGH
lin. The attorney had some money in
his hands for which the constable
had an attachment. The constable
heard of the presence Of the
money and started for the lawyer,
and about the same time the latter heard
of the proposed visit, and grabbing his hat
he made a rush down Twelfth street for
the Exchange Bank. Before he had gone
fifty wards the Constable sighted his man,
aud the race began, while a hundred peo-
pie looked on with deep interest. The at
~torney is u heavy weight, but he proved to
be speedy, and rushed into the Bank II
length or two ahead and thrust the money
into the hands OF the Cashier, who is the
receiver appointed by the Court, Just as the
Constable got inside the door. The money
i'm the ease is the proceeds of the sale oil
some railroad land at the foot of Twenty
fourth street. Messrs. Allison and Col.
Robert White were special commissioners
having charge of the sale.
